Recently, a meme featuring a quote from an 'Assyrian tablet' has been making the rounds, suggesting that even in 5000 years ago, people were publicly decrying the state of their world. Intrigued by its message, I looked into its origins. It appears to be linked to a 1913 Popular Science magazine piece, but the truth is, no real evidence of the tablet exists. It's likely a historical fiction.
